Characteristics of the signs of the zodiac is based on the position of the Sun in the celestial sphere at the time of the person's birth. A few thousand years ago, it was noticed that the position of the Sun in one or another astrological sign of the Zodiac has its own unique influence on the character and temperament of a person and allows you to draw accurate conclusions about the abilities and capabilities of a person. The influence of the location of the Sun in the sign of the Zodiac on the temperament, character, abilities and outlook on human life is very powerful and extremely difficult to correct during life. Often astrological signs The zodiac is confused with the zodiac constellations. However, the astrological signs of the Zodiac are not constellations - these are 12 equal parts into which the ecliptic belt is divided (and astronomical zodiac constellations 13, the thirteenth - the constellation of Ophiuchus). It’s just that initially in astrology, the astrological signs of the Zodiac got their names from the constellations closest to them, and the ancient Babylonian astrologers simply threw out the constellation Ophiuchus for good measure (because the ecliptic was divided into 12 parts).
The signs of the zodiac are 12 sectors of 30 degrees, into which the belt on the celestial sphere is divided, along which the visible annual movement of the Sun occurs (zodiac belt). Each such sector is one of the signs of the zodiac and is named according to the zodiac constellations. In each sign of the zodiac, the Sun stays for about a month and moves into another sign of the zodiac on the twentieth of each month. The countdown of the signs of the zodiac by months begins from the point of the vernal equinox in the direction of the sun. By months, or rather by dates, the signs of the zodiac are located in this belt on the celestial sphere in the following sequence: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
Along the zodiacal belt, not only the Sun moves, but also the planets solar system, which in their movement along the zodiac periodically shift north or south of the zodiac belt. This method The division of the zodiac into parts took shape in the middle of the 1st millennium BC. e. in the Middle East. The names of the signs of the zodiac are associated with the zodiac constellations that corresponded to them at the time of the appearance of this zodiac division in astrology, although in subsequent centuries, due to the precessional displacement of the earth's axis, the stars and constellations shifted so that at present most of the astronomical zodiac constellations are projected onto the subsequent zodiac sign . But, because division of the zodiac into sectors and linking them to real zodiac constellations is purely arbitrary, then western astrology works with the tropical zodiac (without taking into account the precessional displacement of the earth's axis). The starting point for the tropical zodiac is the vernal equinox. This point is the beginning of the first sign of the zodiac - the sign of Aries. The names of the zodiac constellations come from ancient Greek mythology and spread widely in the Hellenistic era. Because most of the zodiac constellations depict living beings, this explains the very term "zodiac" - that is, "menagerie".

Element year of birth - earth
This element belongs to the afternoon and the hottest summer days. The main qualities of the Earth element are fertility and endurance, diligence and strategic thinking. The earth also represents realism and hard work, the elements of a businessman.
Astrology as a science has its roots deep in antiquity, and this causes unconditional respect, because thousands of generations of people have confirmed the influence of stars and the universe on the life of every person on Earth.
It is believed that the Sun visits 12 constellations in turn during the year, thereby influencing human destinies and the character of each individual person. That is why it is important to know the signs of the zodiac by months and dates.
The traditional school of astrology distinguishes 12 signs of the zodiac, each of which is assigned to a person depending on the date of his birth and, accordingly, the location of the Sun at that time in a particular constellation.
This division is based on the division of the celestial sphere, conditionally representing a circle, into 12 parts of 30 degrees. The received parts coincide with the number of months in the calendar year and correspond to the 12 numbers of the zodiac signs. Just remember your date of birth and see what day of the month your zodiac sign begins. This is the so-called tropical zodiac.
New astronomical zodiac
NASA Astronomers have recently insisted on the following:
What else is Ophiuchus?
You ask a perfectly reasonable logical question, and where did it come from?
It turns out that the ancients were also aware that there were 13 constellations. However, they deliberately excluded Ophiuchus from the calendar of zodiac signs. Why? And it was like that.
IN Ancient Greece the beautiful god Apollo fell in love with the nymph Coronis. However, Koronida turned out to be a beautiful, but windy creature, captivated by the charms of another man, and bore a child from her lover.
Apollo was furious! Still would! The beautiful god was fooled and preferred another! Apollo in anger cracks down on the unfaithful nymph. Unable to see a living reminder of the failed love and betrayal of his beloved, Apollo gives the newborn son of Aesculapius to be raised by the centaur Chiron, the legendary healer.
Aesculapius grew up as a smart boy, grasping on the fly all the secrets of medicine, which the famous healer generously revealed to him. Since ancient times, snake venom has been considered a medicine, so Aesculapius often carried live snakes with him, for which he was nicknamed Ophiuchus.
Captivated by the opportunities that opened up and his abilities, Aesculapius decided to do the impossible: to try to bring the dead back to life. These plans became known to the gods, and supreme god Zeus, horrified at what chaos Aesculapius's plan could lead to, strikes him with his lightning and places him on the vault of heaven. 
Ophiuchus is located on the path of the Sun from November 27 to December 17. And the ancients also knew about it. However, the Ophiuchus constellation did not fit into a clear schedule, where 12 constellations are organically inscribed in the firmament, dividing it into even parts of 30 degrees each and corresponding in number to 12 months. Thus, the signs of the zodiac of the traditional horoscope and constellation are harmoniously combined with each other in terms of months, dates and years.
In connection with these facts, a number of scientists are now proposing a new astronomical calendar of zodiac signs, which is compiled taking into account changed circumstances, as well as taking into account the thirteenth constellation - Ophiuchus. Remember your date of birth to find out which zodiac sign corresponds to you.
| Your date of birth | |
| from 19.01 to 15.02 | Capricorn |

Zodiac signs compatibility
Do you know the feeling when you first meet a person, but it seems to you that you have known each other all your life: you can’t talk enough with each other, and you finish phrases one after another, and you don’t have to explain anything once again - and everything is so obvious.
And sometimes you are intuitively uncomfortable with a person. And you have to explain the obvious things several times. And conflicts arise over trifles out of the blue. It comes, sometimes, even to the point that the touch of a person is unpleasant.
Someone will say - fate. However, most often the explanation lies on the surface - it's all about the mystery of the compatibility of men and women according to the signs of the zodiac. Just think about what day of the month you and your interlocutor were born, and correlate everything with the table.

Classical astrology, which appeared about 3000 years ago, tells us that there are only 12 signs of the Zodiac, but new scientific research says otherwise.
Earlier we wrote about the mystery of the 13th Zodiac Sign. Today is the time to remember it again. True, it is not known whether astrologers will take Ophiuchus seriously, since traditional astrology has proven its strength over these millennia, and the new teaching can destroy everything that people believe in, and everything that has been proven by experience and observation.
Changes in Zodiac Signs
According to scientists, for many centuries the movement of the Sun relative to the starry sky has changed because the earth's axis has changed. NASA confirms the fact that the Earth's axis is shifting. In this regard, a number of scientists propose to change the dates of passage through the 12 main zodiac constellations. Considering the 13th constellation - Ophiuchus, which, therefore, can now officially become the 13th Sign of the Zodiac.
Now, according to scientists, the updated horoscope should look like this:
- Capricorn: January 20 - February 16
- Aquarius: February 16 - March 11
- Fish: March 11 — April 18
- Aries: April 18 - May 13
- Calf: May 13 — June 21
- Twins: June 21 - July 20
- Cancer: July 20 - August 10
- A lion: August 10 - September 16
- Virgo: September 16 - October 30
- Scales: October 30 - November 23
- Scorpion: November 23 - November 29
- Ophiuchus: November 29 - December 17
- Sagittarius: December 17 - January 20
Note that a new Sign has been added - Ophiuchus. At the dawn of astrology, he was almost invisible, so he was not taken seriously and was not included in the Signs of the Zodiac, but now he is more than distinct, so they propose to introduce him. Authoritative scientists fully argued their proposals regarding the displacement of the Zodiacal zones, but this does not mean global changes, since people are used to the standard horoscope. Classical astrology does not accept changes in the Signs of the Zodiac - at least not yet.
The new dates of the horoscope raised a lot of noise in the world, as people began to wonder which Sign they belong to - to the new or the old. Popular magazines such as Cosmopolitan supported the hype and made many people doubt the truth and monumentality of such a science as astrology. Experience and time win over impulsiveness and the desire for novelty, so that for now everything remains as it has always been.

13th Zodiac Sign and new zodiac dates
The Earth and the Sun are in a constant dance that lasts 26,000 years. When this time passes, everything starts all over again. During this long period of time, a lot can change in the night sky from the point of view of observation from the Earth.
If you follow these changes, then every 150-300 years you need to change the dates of horoscopes, slightly shifting the Signs of the Zodiac. The only relevant information is the 13th Sign of the Zodiac, which is very important. People born from November 17 to 27 can consider themselves Ophiuchus - this is not an independent Zodiac Sign, but rather an addition to the character of Sagittarius or Scorpio. These people destroy what they love. Their fate is often difficult, but in the end, happiness always awaits them.
Ophiuchus is fickle, windy and fearless. They need time to make their lives more stable and meaningful. They can become anything - everything is limited only by their imagination. That is why among Ophiuchus you can meet talented actors, directors - and at the same time cruel rulers and revolutionaries.
We wish you good luck and advise you not to take seriously online articles and magazine articles about changes in the dates of the Zodiac Signs. The community of astrologers has not yet accepted and, most likely, will not accept any changes in the coming years, because this is not relevant and can cause a huge amount of controversy. Be happy and don't forget to press the buttons and

© wikimedia.orgtochka.net in a hurry to tell the whole truth about the information that has recently stirred up social networks.
And the thing is, information is being disseminated in the media that, according to NASA scientists, in particular Professor of Astronomy Park Kankla, the sign system, based on information obtained several millennia ago, is now significantly outdated.
The generally accepted structure of the zodiac circle, divided into 12 sectors and, accordingly, 12 constellations, is based on a system developed back in Ancient Babylon. One of its main principles is that the Sun must be in the constellation on the birthday of every person who belongs to this sign.

But over many centuries, the orbit of the Earth's movement has gradually changed, as well as the position of the Sun at the time of the birth of man. And for those people who in our time are used to trusting the stars and do not dare to take serious actions without looking into the horoscope, the zodiac calendar requires a clear upgrade and expansion.
From here, it seems, the conclusion follows that the old zodiac system is unreliable, and the modern signs of the Zodiac have shifted by about a month relative to the dates indicated in the calendar. Therefore, the global reform of the astrological calendar from NASA involves changing the dates for all signs of the Zodiac. But this is not all that is said in the notes.
Astronomers propose to introduce into use a new thirteenth sign of the Zodiac, which has a name ( Ophiuchus) - from the constellation of the same name. This is a fairly large, but inconspicuous equatorial constellation, located south of Hercules. One of the most bright stars constellation Ophiuchus - Ras Alhage.

13th sign of the Zodiac: characteristic of Ophiuchus
The new Zodiac sign Ophiuchus falls on the last 5 days of Scorpio and the first 5 days of Sagittarius. Those. The 13th sign of the Zodiac covers birth dates between November 17 and 27 and lasts for 10 days.
People born under the sign of the Zodiac Ophiuchus receive great energy and intuitive potential. They have a very developed inner strength and a sharp mind, seeking to explore the deepest aspects of life. This means that it is the Ophiuchus who are able to join the ranks of psychics, soothsayers and even sorcerers.
Ophiuchus contains the unity and at the same time the struggle of two primordial principles: black and white, light and darkness, good and evil, love and hate, etc. The stars endow Ophiuchus with the obligatory presence of these two strongest tendencies. But only the representative of this sign himself can decide which of the forces to choose. The sign of Ophiuchus personifies the liberation of a person and his exit from the circle of rebirths.
Is it true?
13 zodiac constellations, including Ophiuchus back in the 1st millennium BC, found by the inhabitants of Babylon. But, the Babylonians decided to link the constellation map to their calendar, which divided the year into 12 months, so they divided the zodiac into 12 sectors, crossing out Ophiuchus.
Indeed, now we can say that in the 3,000 years that have passed since the Babylonians compiled zodiac circle, there has been a shift in the zodiac constellations, so now it looks a little different. Since the process is constant - adjustments will occur in the future.
It should be noted that NASA did not make any changes to the astrological circle and does not consider astrology a science at all. NASA spokesman Dwayne Brown said the agency did not change signs or reveal anything. NASA not only did not propose to introduce the thirteenth sign of the zodiac, it stated that this sign has existed since ancient times.
And all the fuss began because of the incorrect interpretation of a note from the NASA Space Place children's educational project, published back in January 2016.
The article tried to tell only that horoscopes cannot claim to be accurate, since the position of the earth's axis relative to the constellations has changed over the millennia.
